This year, a week of Honoring Black History will take place from Feb. 21 – 27. Several diversity organizations led by All is One! Empowering Young Women of Color (AIO) will come together to host events featuring speakers centered around Blackness and the theme of unity.
In previous years, People of Color (POC) Empowerment Week was celebrated in the last week of February and served as a time for diversity organizations to celebrate their groups. According to Black Student Union President, junior Sarah Navy, the change in name and emphasis on Black history took place because Lawrence had limited programming for Black History Month in the past.
